By this examination, students will develop their problem-solving skills and expand them to legal problems involving statute. This subject also reinforces skills in case analysis and expands case-reading to cases involving the application of the Australian Consumer Law. Students will also consider the role of policy in the development of common law and statute. This subject, in combination with Contract Law A, meets the requirements of the Victorian Legal Admissions Board to practice in Victoria in the area of Law of Contracts. The subject contains the La Trobe Innovation and Entrepreneurship Essential , that requires students to: Understand and experience complexities of change; Generate and manage new ideas, in ways that include partnerships and collaboration; and Synthesise knowledge, prioritise action and manage risks.
